  Dormant Commerce Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dormant Commerce Clause is a long-standing legal doctrine in U.S. Constitutional law that limits the power of states to legislate in ways impacting interstate commerce.
The premise of the doctrine is that the U.S. Constitution reserves for Congress the exclusive power to "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes" (Article I, § 8); therefore, individual states are excluded from, or at least limited in, their ability to legislate on such matters.
In a Dormant Commerce Clause case, a court is initially concerned with whether the law discriminates against out-of-state actors or exists to protect in-state interests.

 BBA - British Bankers' Association - BBA to strengthen dormant accounts scheme
Announcing the review of the dormant account scheme, Ian Mullen, chief executive of the BBA commented: "The BBA scheme in its current form was introduced in 2001 with the intention of ensuring that customers were given a central contact point to assist with searching for dormant monies.
But they recognise that it is inevitable that this happens and through the BBA dormant account schemes have sought to ensure that legitimate claimants can have their monies made available to them with a minimum of bureaucracy.
Prior to the introduction of the new dormant accounts unit, customers who did not know the name of the bank where the account was held needed to complete a separate claim form to send to each of the banks where the account could possibly have been maintained.

Despite its designation and regardless of the existence of characteristics that are common to the partnership, the dormant company or corporate shell is not a partnership under the terms of the Civil Code.

Speaking at the second stage of the Dormant Accounts (Amendment) Bill 2004 in Dáil Éireann today (Thursday) Fine Gael Community Affairs Spokesperson Deputy Dinny McGinley said that the tone and content of the Bill reinforced the prevailing public cynicism about the political process.

 2002 News Releases - Dormant Volcanoes Show Signs of Life
Previously dormant volcanoes in two widely separated areas of the Pacific "ring of fire" are showing signs of life, as documented by new images taken by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (Aster) on NASA's Terra satellite.
Geologists had previously considered Chiliques, a simple 5,778-meter (18,957-foot) stratovolcano with a 500-meter (1,640-foot)-diameter circular summit crater in northern Chile, to be dormant.
However, a January 6, 2002 nighttime thermal infrared image from Aster found a hot spot in the summit crater, as well as several others along the upper flanks of the volcano's edifice, indicating new volcanic activity.

 RFC 3132 (rfc3132) - Dormant Mode Host Alerting ("IP Paging") Problem Stat
A dormant mode mobile node may be required to signal to the network when it crosses a paging area boundary, in order that the network can maintain a rough idea of where the mobile is located.
Radio link protocols with dormant mode support only are typically wireless LAN protocols in unlicensed spectrum in which the mobile node is not charged for using a traffic channel, and hence there is no need for conserving spectrum usage.
While the above analysis has identified situations in which location of a mobile in dormant mode may require some action at the IP layer, it is important keep in mind what the problem is. The problem to be solved is the location of a mobile node because it has moved while in dormant mode.

 SSRN-Why Congress May Not Overrule the Dormant Commerce Clause by Norman Williams   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
As I explain, however, depicting the Dormant Commerce Clause as only a weak or presumptive limit on state authority cannot be squared with the constitutional text or constitutional structure.
Either the Dormant Commerce Clause is a constitutional limit on the states or it isn't; there is no middle ground available for treating the Dormant Commerce Clause as a constitutional limitation on state power but one that is abrogable by Congress.
As a final possibility, one might defend Congress's power to overrule the Dormant Commerce Clause on the ground that Congress may delegate its commerce power, which is not subject to the constraints of the Dormant Commerce Clause, to the states.
